Phone Adam Hickey on 0418 630 813 - He has access to some awesome paints - He did that amazing purple fleck on black on my race car... I get asked about it all the time. He can do panel beating/painting and will do a special cash price. Have a look at some of his work, then decide.

It'll look like ass for 2k. If you want a good job, apparently the place to go is Tony Farrugia and I think double your budget.

LOL and the rest. Tony Farrugia won't (or rarely) touch old cars. He's like the only authorised repairer for cars like Mercs, Beemas, Audis etc and that's what they prefer to be working on.

As an indication on their price, to repair a pin dent and tiny paint chip on our S3 it's going to cost somewhere around $1700 and that's for repainting the front 1/4 panel and the driver's door.

I'm going to get mine done at Capital Collision in November and I'm looking somewhere around the $6k mark but keeping in mind my body is very straight and I'm not doing a colour change. Engine bay is being done (kept at basic black) and that's because the engine will already be out.

But yeah keep in mind you pay for what you get. For $2k or less you'll be lucky if it looks like ass and be prepared to get it done again in the not too distant future.

    • Sadly we have something in common, our Skyline's like blowing up electrically 😢
    • So, no videos, but, the FAB9 Elite manifold and 68mm Bosch throttle bodies are in stock, but, not the rear part of the air box The FAB9 rear airbox thingie is made with a 3" intake pipe, to suit the 3" intake pipe size of a 68mm throttle body  When they get some more in stock is currently unknown as I'm waiting for FAB9 to reply with a ETA on resupply, my assumption is they outsource their plastic printing stuff to "china", and with the current "tariff war" going on in 'Merica it could be on hold for an undisclosed time Should I pull the pin on the Intake and throttle body, and wait for the airbox?????, that's what I'm thinking... 1. Would the standard 2.75" OEM intake on the air box really be that much of a restriction compared to the 3" naturally aspirated?????? 2. If I don't get the 3" FAB9 airbox fitted at the same time as the intake and throttle body will it need a retune, when/if it eventually turns up?????? As I'm impulsive, to a fault, decisions will be made within....."what's the time now"???....let's say 12 hours......LOL
    • yeah its just so expensive nowadays and its easy to lose motivation very quickly when you start adding up the costs. I acquired the car from a collector in Melbourne and was lucky to get the opportunity to buy something already completed.  I looked at a proper resto and your paying over 300-400K for a proper one (nut and bolt) so this one to me seemed like a much better option! Car is in private storage and for serious buyers, welcome to come see it/drive it in person (photos don't do it justice). 
    • nice to see a proper resto, instead of the usual half arsed attempts where the owners wont even replace crappy floor mats
